SPEIGHT'S 1600m Track: HEAVY 10 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Wild Jakkal and Strobe Light leading the way. MOOR (14) is a locally trained mare who impressed with a strong closing effort when charging into second over 1400m at this track nearly 5 weeks ago. The rise in trip looks ideal, and with 2.5kg less to carry, she could have the last say this time. PROUDTOBEHERE (11) produced an eye-catching finish from the tail to score stylishly over 1600m here at her latest appearance. She has progressed nicely this prep, and her stable has run into some good recent form. Stick with her. DAVID MOSS (4) tried hard and was not far away at Riverton despite finishing seventh, and his overall form this prep has been heading the right way. He only needs the gaps to come at the right time to be a big winning threat in this. KING PALM (1) did not fire fresh at Riccarton Park, and there was no money for him, which suggests he was there just to get fit. He benefits from a 3kg claim, and he is expected to finish a lot closer here. Each way. SACRED MIST (10) broke her win drought last start. Include again. SUGGESTED PLAY: David Moss will be hard to beat, and watch the money for King Palm.
